Assign Users to Group

What can I do in this subtask?

Use the fields in this subtask to link one or more users by company to a user group. There is no system requirement that you link users to user groups.

You must have already established user information in the Users screen (Administration\Maintain\Users).  Because you can establish security rights for each user group, a user assigned to a specific user group inherits the security rights of that user group.

The most efficient way to set up security rights for users is to first establish rights for user groups. Then, if necessary, you can use the Module Rights subtask in this screen to override group rights for this user at the module, application, result set, or action/report rights by result set levels, as desired.

Note:  You can assign one or more users to a user group in this screen OR you can assign one or more user groups to a user in the Users screen (Administration\Maintain\Users).
 

When should I use this screen?

Use this screen whenever you want to link one or more users to a user group.

You must first enter user information in the Users screen (Administration\Maintain\Users).

You also must first set up companies in the Company Taxable Entity Information screen (Accounting\Configure\General Ledger).
